The IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca is a public university school for higher education and research.
Nestled in the picturesque region of Tuscany, the IMT School stands out as a premier post-graduate institution in Europe.
Interdisciplinary research, cutting-edge technologies, and internationalization form the cornerstone of the IMT School's identity.
In addition to doctoral training, the IMT School also offers executive courses and master's degrees conducted in collaboration with prestigious universities and research institutes.
Facilitating a conducive environment for learning and growth, the IMT School provides an array of facilities and benefits, including a well-stocked library, state-of-the-art laboratories, on-campus accommodation and canteen services. Additionally, PhD students can enjoy fitness and relaxation amenities, leisure rooms for socialization, and opportunities to immerse themselves in the Italian language and culture through dedicated courses.
The School's research is organizationally divided into Multidisciplinary Scientific Areas, which are devoted to the study and exploration of broad themes. The Multidisciplinary Scientific Areas are also the centres of reference for the recruitment of researchers and faculty, and for the integration of research and teaching. Each includes within it one or more Research Units.
The Multidisciplinary Scientific Areas identified in the School's four areas of scientific and teaching expertise, with their respective Research Units, are:
economics, management and statistics area, with the AXES Research Unit
neuroscience, psychology and philosophy area, with the MOMILAB and PHIBOR Research Units
systems science area, with the Research Units DYSCO, MUSAM, NETWORKS and SYSMA
cultural systems area, with the LYNX Research Unit
Most RUs are led by a prominent senior researcher, include a small group of junior faculty members, and involve doctoral students actively contributing to the research as part of their studies. Other RUs instead are structured in a multipolar fashion, with highly specialized research centered on thematic nuclei and the contribution of diverse methodologies.
The research carried out within the RUs is closely connected to the School’s PhD programs. In fact, every PhD student is affiliated with a Research Unit and contributes to the research and projects carried out therein. Several RUs are affiliated with highly specialized laboratories, and the entire School relies on very high-level computer infrastructures.
Scuola IMT Alti Studi Lucca is a member of the EFC - Educating Future Citizens network, which includes the Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS (Pavia), Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati - SISSA (Trieste), Scuola di Studi Superiori "C.

IMT PhD students and scholars have the opportunity to participate in joint activities and are encouraged to engage with partner institutions to foster academic and research collaborations.
Current global challenges demand complex, flexible, adapting responses not confined to a single expertise or set of tools. The IMT School’s multidisciplinary PhD Programs aim at providing research skills and tools to address complex issues of the 21st century.
IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca is looking for bright students from all over the world to recruit through highly competitive and transparent procedures.

Mind, Brain, and Human Thought (MBHT)
The PhD Program in Mind, Brain and Human Thought (MBHT) offers interdisciplinary training on human mind and behaviour, integrating neuroscience, psychology, philosophy of science and history of philosophy. It presents two curricula: Human Thought: Philosophy, History and Science, which studies the neurological and psychological mechanisms of behavior, and Neuroscience, Experimental Psychology and Psychophysiology, which explores the philosophical and epistemological bases of knowledge. Students will be prepared to face complex scientific and social challenges, contributing to fields such as mental health and technological ethics.
In a unique multidisciplinary environment, the CS Program – Track in Management of Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies trains talented graduates from different backgrounds to undertake cutting-edge research in the many scientific fields related to cultural systems, and to operate as high-level, innovative cultural heritage professionals. Research- and practice-oriented courses will allow you to get innovative, up-to-date, high-quality training, relevant to careers in Academia, the cultural heritage sector, creative industries, and private companies. Students are involved in cross-disciplinary experimental activities and research projects in direct contact with cultural heritage, institutions and companies, and with leading academics and practitioners in the field. The Erasmus+ framework and ad hoc mobility agreements support students’ international student’s mobility.
The PhD Program in Economics, Analytics and Decision Sciences trains students to undertake cutting-edge research in a wide range of economic and social disciplines with a unique multidisciplinary approach that relies on the unifying language of statistics and data science, as well as on selected tools from computer science and psychology.
The aim of SyS is to equip students with the necessary skills to conduct advanced research in the field of analysis and design of a range of technological, natural, economic, and social systems. This is achieved through the use of descriptive and predictive mathematical models. SyS students work on diverse projects, such as improving the efficiency of industrial systems, comprehending the complexity of biological, ecological, social, and economic systems, and ensuring the reliability and autonomy of cyber-physical systems that combine physical modules and software. The potential application areas of SyS include several industries such as automotive, aerospace, communication, chemical, infrastructure, energy, biomedicine, financial, and manufacturing, as well as governmental sectors such as central banking and official statistics.
Complex systems and critical infrastructures are essential to society, yet increasingly difficult to protect from cyber-attacks. The growth of cloud computing, remote work, and mobility has heightened vulnerabilities, while threats such as zero-day exploits and new malware demand advanced solutions and skilled professionals. Despite rising awareness, the cybersecurity workforce has not grown fast enough, leaving a critical skills gap with serious consequences for global security. The National Ph.D. Program in Cybersecurity (Ph.D.-CySec) aims to train experts who combine technical excellence with legal and organizational competencies to meet this urgent challenge.
